Week 22 Belly Pic

Ugh ... this is probably one of the worst pictures I've taken.  Is it possible for my neck to get fat?!?  But I don't care enough to have MJ re-do it tomorrow, so I'll stick with it.  So here you go: my belly at five and a half months pregnant.  MJ swears I look more pregnant in person than I do in these photos, and I suspect he's correct.  When I'm going about my day, it's more obvious that I'm thicker around the middle than I used to be.  However, I tried wearing maternity pants this week and they were far too large.

I told MJ that I'm going to be self-conscious when I'm wearing a swimsuit on our cruise (next week!), because then I won't have a winter sweater for my thickening middle to hide behind.  MJ swore he would go around the ship telling everyone that I'm five and a half months pregnant.  How sweet!  ha ha.

We got our Christmas tree this morning, so the house smells wonderfully of evergreen.  Now, back to putting the lights on the tree ... my least favorite job, but it's worth it when the tree is all decorated and twinkling.
